Because there are different levels of premium - Premium A, B and C. Only C comes with the full size spare
This is for 05/06 btw....not sure about 03/04
Packages include the Premium Package A (available with the G35 6MT), with dual sliding glass sunroof with one-touch open/close feature, dual-zone air conditioning, driver?s seat memory, automatic auto on/off headlights, HomeLink? Universal Transceiver, Bose? audio system with 7 speakers, adjustable reclining rear seats, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel and more.
The Premium Package B (available only with the Sport-Tuned Suspension Package) adds all of the Premium Package A contents plus an automatic entry/exit driver?s seat system, Intelligent Key and rear air conditioning vents.
The Premium Package C (available on G35 and G35x AWD, not available with Sport-Tuned Suspension Package) included the Premium Package B contents plus a full-size spare tire.

I looked at the spare slot in my car and it doesn't look like anything wider than a 7" rim would fit flush. I think I could fit an 18"x8" coupe rim in there if I put some kind of 1"-2" spacer underneath the surrounding styrofoam to raise it up.
So basically, it could be done, but you would lose trunk space. Or you could just not use a spacer and have a hump under the carpet mat.

I have a fullsize spare. The spacers only lift the mat up enough to be flush with the stock 17"x7" 215/55 wheel & tire. I think you would need an additional 1"-2" to clear an 18"x8" with a 235 or 245 tire. I will try fitting the coupe wheel in there once I get tires mounted.

It really would only cause damage if you put it on a limited slip and the diameters of the tires were different.
Ideally, you'd want the diameters to be the same. I beleive the spare is sized to be the same size OD as the stock tire, so as long as the 19" tire size is the same OD as the spare tire size...you should be fine.
